SC Well fuck....so much for assuming y'all were on the ball. How the hell did you miss the April 5th death of Jim Marshall (Marshall amps founder)???? Jim Marshall, a British music store owner who influenced the raucous sound and chest-thumping volume of rock-and-roll with his Marshall amplifiers, the stage hardware of choice for guitarists Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and Slash, died April 5 at a hospice in London. He was 88. The death, of undisclosed causes, was announced on the Marshall amplifiers Web site. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,013 Posted July 9, 2017 On 3/3/2016 at 21:42, Sir Creep said: Found this from January: The chairman and CEO of Cerner Corporation informed clients, shareholders and colleagues on Monday of his cancer diagnosis. Neal Patterson, 66, said in a letter to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that he was diagnosed with a soft tissue cancer just after the new year. His physician has told him that the type of cancer he has is treatable and curable (oh I love when they say it), and there is no evidence of cancer elsewhere in his body. Patterson plans to begin treatment immediately. SC HA HA HA..... Treatable and curable. I LOV V V V E when they say it! Fucking DEAD. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
